# Adjusting Your Goals, Daily Plan, and Targets in Hoot

## Introduction

Your nutrition needs aren’t static—and Hoot is built to adapt with you. Whether your goals shift, your routine changes, or you simply want more control, you can update your **Goals & Details** _and_ your **Daily Plan** in just a few taps.

## Update Your Goals & Details

Go to: **Settings → Goals & Details**

From here, you can update:

### Your primary goal

* Lose weight
* Maintain weight
* Gain weight

### Your goal weight & pacing

* Goal weight
* Weekly pace (e.g., 0.5 lb/week, 1 lb/week, etc.)

### Your activity level

Choose the option that best reflects your weekly routine (sedentary → very active).

### Your personal details

You can edit:

* Current weight
* Height
* Age
* Gender
* Measurement units for:

* Weight (lbs/kg)
* Height (ft/in or cm)
* Water (oz, ml, liters)
* Water serving size (e.g., your bottle size)

These details help Hoot calculate accurate calorie and macro recommendations based on your body and lifestyle.

## Update Your Daily Plan (Calories, Macros & Optional Targets)

Go to: **Settings → Daily Plan**

This is where you’ll adjust your day-to-day nutrition targets.

1. Tap any target with the **pencil icon**
2. Edit the value manually
3. Save changes

Hoot will always provide a **default recommendation**—based on your personal profile and best practices from nutrition science—but you have full control to override anything.

### Default Targets (always included):

* **Calories**
* **Protein** (default: 0.8 g/lb body weight)
* **Carbohydrates** (calculated after protein & fat)
* **Fat** (default: 30% of calories + minimum safe thresholds)

### Optional Targets (you can toggle on/off):

* Fiber
* Sugars
* Fat (total)
* Saturated fat
* Cholesterol
* Sodium
* Water

## A Note on Safety & Medical Guidance

Hoot uses safe minimum calorie floors to protect your health:

* **Women:** 1,200 kcal/day
* **Men:** 1,500 kcal/day
* **Other genders:** 1,350 kcal/day

If your edits push you below these levels, Hoot will prevent unsafe settings.

Because nutrition needs vary—especially for people with medical conditions, using GLP-1 medications, or following specialized diets—we recommend consulting with a physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified professional before making major changes.
